I was on the bus to PNE to pick up my Olympic Accreditation pass when I saw Mike sitting outside a grocery store at Hastings and Nanaimo. What caught my eye was how he was hugging his dog, Blue.
I made a mental note to come back and talk to him and perhaps get a picture. Just seeing him from the bus, I got the feeling he was interesting and had a story to tell.
I approached him and said that I had $5 which he could either have or I could buy him something to eat. He took the money instead, showing me a cut on his hand that he needed some medicine for. His hands were in pretty bad shape, all beat up and arthritic. I asked him to tell me his story, his life, how he is where he is now.
Mike used to live in a high rise downtown on Robson St, where he had the life. This life was sustained through drug dealing and stealing, but he had it good. With money in the bank, nothing worried him. Until the day that karma caught up to him ...and everything went downhill. From high to low, when he became bankrupt and lost all his money, he actually felt... peaceful. No longer did he have any burdens or worries to stress about, which is ironic he said, for someone who is homeless.
Now he just has his dog, Blue, a mix of Rottweiler & Blue Heeler to keep him company. Blue is now 7.5years old, and he got her when she was just 3years old. His eyes were set on her since she was just a pup at 6months old though, and he kept begging the owner for years before she relented. She's a cutie and was definitely spoiled over the holidays, just look at how big she is!
Mike is super friendly and you can tell he has the smarts to still set his life back on track. All the locals in the neighbourhood know him, saying hi to him as they walk by. Even this cute girl stopped to buy him some Church's Chicken.
Sometimes, these conversations with strangers are the best and most heartwarming. It humbles me and makes me take a step back to look at the world and life in a different point of view.
edit- i can no longer link both image &flickr url at the same time. goddamnit. I was using this. http://kleel.nfshost.com/oilu.html

Otherwise, It was taken in my garage, 20 second exposure, f/22 from what I recall (too lazy to look up the EXIF  )

^Not liking. Light is WAY too flat and bland. Plus, the IR one looks really soft.

the easiest way to do a quick Pano, first find the nodal point of the lens your using. pan your camera left to right on that nodal point. if you wanted to u can grab a monopod, make a custom plate so that u can mount the camera's tripod mount on the plate and the plate extends to the nodal point of your lens, then mount the monopod to the plate.
or just do it handheld and use your knuckle as the axis

Instead of using their MPR-CL II, you can just move the camera forward and backwards. You won't be able to mount this to a normal tripod without some sort of adapter. Basically, the end of the lens will be the rotation point and the body of the camera will rotate around that. - Find two vertical objects; one near, one far. Position your equipment so that these objects line up in the viewfinder.
- Level your equipment.
- Mount and center your camera on the MPR-CL II.
- Start out by positioning the approximate center of your lens over the axis of rotation.
- Now pan left.
- If the rear object appears to shift to the left, then you are ahead of the nodal point. Slide the MPR-CL II forward and try again.
- If the rear object appears to shift to the right, you are behind the nodal point. Slide the MPR-CL II back and try again.
- When the optical center of the lens is directly over the axis of rotation, the rear object will not appear to move relative to the front object.
- Record your results so that your setup can be re-created.
